Pizzacoin ($PIZZA) reminds us of a regretful incident…
Pizzacoin ($PIZZA), a Solana-based meme coin with the contract address H88NR6BLs1w8KxjTttbgbE6SBfEc9zKHqFdQ97Wqpump, has emerged as a tribute to one of Bitcoin’s most iconic moments as of May 17, 2025. With a current market cap of $500,000 and a 24-hour trading volume of $2.1 million, $PIZZA is gaining traction, yet its full potential may still be ahead.
The history of $PIZZA is squarely in celebration of the fabled transaction on May 22, 2010, in which Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two giant pizzas in what was the very first real-world exchange of Bitcoins. The worth of 10,000 BTC at the time was then equivalent to approximately $41 in the real world before being eclipsed as it has been by the stratospheric valuation of Bitcoins. $PIZZA lightheartedly celebrates the occasion with its motto of “1 $PIZZA = 10,000 Bitcoin,” mirroring the sky-high value of the pizzas now while using the tongue-in-cheek tone of the joke coins.
We are just five days from May 22 today, May 17, 2025, which is the date of the anniversary of Bitcoin Pizza Day. That timing doesn’t suggest $PIZZA has reached its all-time high yet because the event itself is likely to attract more interest and trading in the crypto space. Its present price of $500,000 and trade volume of $2.1 million suggest growth in nascent stages, with room for other investors to enter before the anniversary of Bitcoin Pizza Day can create further traction in the popularity of the asset.
$PIZZA’s association with Bitcoin Pizza Day taps into well-documented crypto history to appeal to enthusiasts who can relate to the cultural significance of Hanyecz’s purchase. Cited in previous pages of search engine results, however, Bitcoin Pizza Day is still an honorary day and has been often cited by the crypto space as emblematic of the rise of and use of Bitcoin. On the threshold of anniversary status, $PIZZA is a coin with history linking the day in history to the meme coin phenomenon of the present in Solana.
With PIZZA gaining strength heading into May 22, its retro theme and being the first mover put the token in the position of future evaluation within the Solana ecosystem, with scope for more upside as it heads into Bitcoin Pizza Day.
